About Chinese New Year Festival

Chinese New Year, Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holiday. It is often inaccurately called "Lunar New Year", because - as part of the lunisolar Chinese calendar - the date is partially determined based on lunar phase. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month in the Chinese calendar and ends with Lantern Festival which is on the 15th day. Chinese New Year's Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".
Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Information from Wikipedia.

I did something on some of the picture and i transfer it into Vector file through Adobe Illustrator.
I use Live trace to trace some of the unique picture for my further progress.
 Why i use illustrator to convert pic into vector file is because i need a clear and sharp image for my further e-wallpaper.

The picture i convert into vector is shown:







the source of this picture is from internet and i will edit and combine together them into new artwork.
